I would like to have as much, but in the context of Bazaar interaction,
I'm afraid the performance bottleneck will be actually invoking bzr (for
now, supposing this is the only way to do things). I'll start work on a
bzr remote helper shortly and will post a url to my github repos. If you
want to help in developing the remote helper and later optimizing its
performance, I'll be more than happy about it.
